This patch teaches diffcore_rename() to look into

With proper cache, there should be no available entry for estimation
after exact matching.

This is something I have thought about in the past, good to see that
implemented :)

Rename caching is per commit. I don't think abitrary tree-tree caching
is worth it.

That could be a nice complement to my directory-rename patch.
